ArmInfo. Trying to connect the Czech village of Lidice with Khojaly is
like trying to connect Auschwitz with Mikheil Saakashvili’s actions
with respect to South Ossetia, Jana Mazalova, a well-known Czech
journalist, said in Yerevan, Wednesday.

A witness in the tragic events organized near Aghdam by Azerbaijani
nationalists, Mazalova said that unfortunately, the local authorities
of Lidice have not responded to the protest of a group of Czech
journalists, probably, because of their insufficient awareness of
the Khojaly tragedy. She added that she had kept silence for a long
time when reading the Azerbaijani false information, however, this
black PR of official Baku does not let her be calm as the Azerbaijani
fabrications exceed all the reasonable limits. Therefore she has
come to Yerevan to tell the truth about the events in Khojaly, which
have nothing to do with Lidice, and have no analogues either, said
the journalist.

To note, on February 26 the Azerbaijani embassy in Czech Republic
organized in the Memorial complex in Lidice an event dedicated to the
18th anniversary of Khojaly tradegy. The event covered an exhibition
prepared by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, a documentary about the
Karabakh conflict. The village of Lidice was stamped out of existence
by the fascists in 1942, and the population fell under terror.
